Businesses can’t plan until they truly understand their costs. While operating statements and M.I.S. reports give you some information—you need a more powerful tool to fully understand the impact of time and distance on profitability.
With Trincon’s Activity Based Costing System, you get easy-to-use technology that helps you measure the cost effects of both time and distance, the profitability of customers, lanes, commodities, equipment types, even down to the shipment level. The program also shows the impact of using company versus contract trucks, and more. Trincon will show you how to use the information you gain, to transform your business into a true profit center.

The Activity Based Costing system supplies management with a powerful:

Dispatch Tool: Determine the cost or profitability of the effect of “Hours of Service” on specific shipments.

Sales Tool: Measure the profit in pricing against actual or projected costs of operation.

Operations Tool: Determine the standards and measure the profit effects of increased productivity.
